However, when the subject arose in the taping for tomorrow's show, Cooper explained that he does not want to continue the argument, E! Online reports.

"Don't get me in a war with Star Jones now," he said. "I said my piece on Star Jones. I am not one to have a feud."

Following Cooper's original criticism of her, Jones had tweeted: "I was wrong. @andersoncooper didn't come out as a ratings ploy. He used ME talking about him coming out @todayshow as a ratings ploy. #mybad."

However, Cooper said that he is "not responding" to the message and added: "Actually, The Today Show tried to book me to go on with Star Jones so we could tussle. I was like, 'I've got nothing more to say, nor do I want to be in a room with her'. I'm done."

Jones has now appeared to deny that she had agreed to discuss the remarks with Cooper, writing on her Twitter page today: "Someone is a LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE. I would NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES agree to a 'debate' on my accurate statements @todayshow. BS."
